PREPARING TTHE A
APPLIANCE - ccontinued
Knockout holes are provided in the rear and sides of the firebox for use where concealed pipework is required.
Where necessary, knock out the appropriate hole with a sharp tap from a hammer, and fit the rubber grommet
supplied. A small incision can now be made in the rubber to slip snugly around the outside of the pipe and sleev-
ing. Do nnot iinsstall oor uusse tthe aappliancce w
without tthe ssealss iin pplacce. If a hole is inadvertently opened, reseal with an
intact grommet. Failure to fit the seal correctly will cause flue suction to act upon the area under the burner, result-
ing in poor performance and intermittent cutting out of the burner.
Apply the self adhesive sealing strips to the back of the fireframe to give a continuous seal.
PREPARING TTHE O
OPENING
Before installing the fire, check the flue using a smoke pellet. All of the smoke should travel up the flue and exit
correctly from the terminal. If problems are found, DO NOT fit the fire until corrective action is completed.
Protect the decorative hearth whilst pushing the firebox in and out of the opening. Part of the packaging will make
an ideal hearth saver pad.
Before running the gas supply into the opening, offer up the firebox to the fireplace to check the fit is good.
Ensure that it slides in correctly, the sealing face sits flat and square to the wall or infill panel, and that the base is
firm on the floor of the opening as no leaks are permissible here. At this stage it is essential to ensure that the
spigot outlet of the firebox is not restricted in any way. Remove the firebox and take any necessary measurements
before making good and preparing for final installation.
CABLE FIXING. For fixing of the fire by the cable method, see the relevant section. The cable fixing locations
should be marked on the back of the opening and the holes drilled. Fit the fibre rawlplugs and eyebolts to these
holes. Note: PPlassticc rrawlpluggss aare N
NOT ssuitable ffor tthiss aappliccation.
SCREW FIXING. For fixing by screw, mark and drill the firebox base, and the relevant points in the opening or on
the wall. Rawlplugs will again be required. Pre-punched holes are not provided for this purpose to allow you to
choose the optimum positions. Sccrew ffixingg vvia tthe ffirebox fframe iiss nnot rreccommended aass, ddependant oon tthe ttype
of ttrim ffitted, llargge aareass oof tthe bblacck ppainted fframe m
may bbe vvissible w
when tthe iinsstallation iiss ccompleted.
GAS SUPPLY. Following preparation for the fixing method, the concealed gas supply, where required, can now
be put into place. Refer to the gas supply section for suggested pipe routes. The ends of the sleeving in which the
gas pipe is run should be sealed. The ends of the 8mm supply pipe should be temporarily sealed to prevent the
ingress of debris during fixing.
GAS SSUPPLY R
ROUTING
When the opening is ready for installation of the fire, the gas supply can be routed as shown in the diagrams
below. IMPORTANT - Wherever a concealed connection is made a rubber grommet must be used to seal the
firebox.
